Subject[PATCH 3.12 084/118] dm delay: fix a possible deadlock due to shared workqueue
Date
3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

commit 718822c1c112dc99e0c72c8968ee1db9d9d910f0 upstream.

The dm-delay target uses a shared workqueue for multiple instances. This
can cause deadlock if two or more dm-delay targets are stacked on the top
of each other.

This patch changes dm-delay to use a per-instance workqueue.
